>> governor romney shows better. if you look at the history of immigration reform, it has not been the democrats in congress that bushed back. it has been the republicans. i would think that if governor romney wishes to approach this issue in good faith, he would talk to members of his own party. obviously, he's not doing that. >> what is your guess on the potential motivation impact? there were some people who thought if the law was upheld completely, it would greatly motivate the latino community. what's your sense on political impact. >> i apologize with the earpiece. the way i look at it, of course it's going to energize the latino communities. you're saying why is immigration so important to latinos? it impacts all latinos. not all latinos are undocumented obviously. some were here before the founding of this nation but we're all impacted by it. how else do you explain in high school stadiums where you have students chanting arizona, arizona, or usa, usa, when is a basketball team takes the court and it happened

romney is talking about. still, one last point here, joe, even when you consider that this is the real problem, that you're comparing this 47% to this 47% and in fact there may be a lot of republicans over here, even if you do all of that, there's one last thing that while democrats may crow about this and say mr. romney has insulted a whole bunch of people and made them angry, this is one last thing i think you have to look at in this. look at this recent survey by gallup. this found 54% of people even right now still think that the government is doing too much for people. and those folks may be more inclined to buy into mr. romney's comments than most democrats are. they may in fact say, yeah, when he's talking about victims, he's not talking about us even if we're getting benefits. the question on how he decides to spin that, that's going to be the measure of it i think, joe. >> everybody thinks that 47% doesn't apply to them. thanks so much for that, tom foreman. >>> a different target in the middle east
